Lyrics
Folks you d better stop and think, and he knew he could not stop
What will happen, everybody knows we re on the brink, must you always kill with burn and burn with guns
If you have to die, everybody knows we re on the brink
My people are rising they re living in lies, everybody knows we re on the brink
And kill with guns and burn don t you know how we gotta react, cause you know what life is
Always living with the threat of death ahead, teach your people
In all of our cities, teach your people
Everybody knows we re on the brink, my people are rising they re living in lies
What will happen, even at that one moment that ya know what life is
in all of our cities
My people are rising they re living in lies, but he had seen the mountaintop, in all of our cities
everybody knows we re on the brink
It s all right, even if they have to die at the moment they know what life is Is, folks you d better stop and think
folks you d better stop and think
Now that the king is dead, everybody knows we re on the brink Simone, my people are rising they re living in lies
And he knew he could not stop, it s all right
And kill with guns and burn don t you know how we gotta react, even at that one moment that ya know what life is, teach your people
folks you d better stop and think
folks you d better stop and think
Folks you d better stop and think, folks you d better stop and think Simone, everybody knows we re on the brink
You know what freedom is for one moment of your life, always living with the threat of death ahead
folks you d better stop and think
Even at that one moment that ya know what life is, if you have to die, now that the king is dead
My people are rising they re living in lies, must you always kill with burn and burn with guns
If you have to die, but he had seen the mountaintop Is, everybody knows we re on the brink
We can all she d tears it won t change a thing, even if they have to die at the moment they know what life is Simone, even at that one moment that ya know what life is
Always living with the threat of death ahead, everybody knows we re on the brink
Even if they have to die at the moment they know what life is, but he had seen the mountaintop
everybody knows we re on the brink
Teach your people, now that the king of love is dead
Folks you d better stop and think, always living with the threat of death ahead, and kill with guns and burn don t you know how we gotta react
folks you d better stop and think
What s gonna happen now, now that the king is dead
folks you d better stop and think
it s all right
even at that one moment that ya know what life is
always living with the threat of death ahead
And kill with guns and burn don t you know how we gotta react, even if they have to die
in all of our cities
we can all she d tears it won t change a thing
